The 54th Siege Artillery Battery in action. Note that light rail is laid right to the gun position to facilitate the movement of the massive shells fired by these guns. Note the guns are wheeled so they can be relocated far easier than was the case with the 9.2 inch Howitzers of the 55th Battery. Note the box trails of these howitzers, The cutout section allows the gun to be fully elevated and accommodate the full recoil of the barrel on firing. These images were taken by renowned photographers Frank Hurley and George (later Sir Hubert) Wilkins. See the video link in the sidebar.

BLACKBURN, VIC. 1944-01-16. MEMBERS OF THE 3RD BATTALION, VOLUNTEER DEFENCE CORPS, WHO WERE THE "ENEMY" DURING THE UNIT BATTLE MANOEUVRES, SIGHTING THEIR RIFLES OVER THE TRENCH PARAPET.

They had an enviable reputation for accuracy.
